Evidence for policy school: Disaster Risk Management 13-15 January 2020 / Florence (Italy)
Evidence for Policy School - Disaster
Risk Management: SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY IN SUPPORT OF DECISION
MAKING, IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF
UNCERTAINTY
13-15 January, 2020, Florence, Italy
In a world flooded with information from a multitude of sources, collecting,
managing, making sense of and communicating knowledge, or evidence, is
highly challenging.
With scientific controversies, post-fact politics and societal challenges to
the use of evidence in public policy, evidence-informed policymaking needs
advocates and skilled practitioners, both in scientific and policy bodies.
To help researchers to have more impact and policymakers to use evidence
for policy solutions, the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC)
and Directorate General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian
Aid (DG ECHO), in collaboration with the Italian Civil Protection Department,
the International Network for Government Science Advice (INGSA) and the
University of Florence (UNIFI), organise an Evidence and Policy School in
Florence, Italy.
The thematic topic of the 2020 Evidence for Policy School is disaster risk
management – a key strategic area for the future of Europe. However, the
workshop will not present either the latest science or specific policy
solutions in this field, but will focus on the tools and approaches to
inform the policymaking process through evidence.
What is unique about the event?
‣P olicymakers and scientists meet and together develop skills in
using evidence for creating policy solutions;
‣P articipants will learn how their respective professional worlds
operate;
‣ L eading thinkers and practitioners producing science and policy
around risk reduction, preparedness and response engage closely
with participants through participatory, interactive masterclasses;
‣ T he thematic focus stimulates cross-policy dialogue and
interdisciplinarity.Who will be there?
cientists interested in how to achieve impact on policy and
‣S
olicymakers interested in how to commission and use research
‣P
to support them in their daily work
oth having experience of working within the field of disaster
‣B
risk management (producing science or policy tackling it, using
related data in their work on other topics, interested in the
implications of this societal challenge on other fields, etc.) and
orking primarily in the Participating States to the Union Civil
‣W
Protection Mechanism, i.e. EU Member States, Norway, Iceland,
Serbia, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Turkey
What will you gain?
ew knowledge on how to better integrate scientific evidence into
‣N
policy-making;
cientists will learn how to better communicate and
‣ S
visualise their results, tackle uncertainty and align their
projects with policy needs.
olicymakers will learn how research can support policy,
‣ P
which science can be relevant to their field, where to find
it and how to interpret it, and what can be expected from
researchers.
ew insights on how ‘the other side’ operates;
‣N
nlarged network of likeminded professionals, working on
‣E
disaster risk management with ambition of using evidence in
policymaking;
ccess to a global community of practice, exchanging top
‣A
resources and expertise.PROGRAMME
